DCFC Daily limit?

547 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  John Austin
I read somewhere that BZ4X and possibly solterras have a limit of (2) fast charges every 24 hours. Can anyone confirm if they have done a longer road trip and done 2+ more? We are planning on doing. A drive from oregon to Southern California and this would be almost impossible if this was the case

That's correct, but it's not two DC Fast Charging sessions. It's the equivalent energy of two "full" charges, however that's defined. Could be 200% of the total capacity, but it sounds more likely that it is the equivalent of low battery to 80% twice, or maybe around 150% of battery capacity.

There will soon be a software update for the bZ4X in at least some markets that raises that limit from 2 charges to 3.8. There have been some U.S. bZ4X owners that have stated that they've been told by Toyota that the update will be rolling out here soon, for whatever that's worth. I don't think there's been anything close to official information about changes to the Solterra.

Edit: to fix typo

I just did a trip last weekend where I had to fast charge from 15 percent each time to 80 percent 3 times in one day.

How fast were they?
They were 150kw chargers but I was getting around 60-67kw as a max charging rate.

During my recent trip I used DCFC 3 times each of the two days of driving. It took about an hour to go from 10-80% usually with around 60kWh output.
